Woohoo!).<\/p>\n<p>I will also be featuring a series of interviews here on the blog with a wide variety of writers who once published with me at Booktrope, a sort of catching up with the &#8216;Tropers if you will. \u00a0They span all genres, both fiction and non, and we&#8217;ll find out where their publishing paths have taken them since the closure of Booktrope. Stay tuned for that!<\/p>\n<p>Also, Sneak Peek Sunday will continue tomorrow. I will be giving readers a glimpse of what&#8217;s new with Marnie &amp; the crew in the fifth book of the series.
